In the beginning there was light
but more than this, there was gravity.
After that, all hell broke loose...
This is how the story of the greatest intellectual adventure in history should be introduced: how humanity reached its current understanding of the universe. In his new book, The Greatest Story Ever Told… So Far, Lawrence Krauss connects the world we know with the invisible world all around us – the one we can’t see or touch. He explains our current understanding of nature and the struggle to construct the greatest theoretical edifice ever assembled, the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and its implications for our existence.
Enter below to win a signed copy of both Lawrence Krauss’ new book, The Greatest Story Ever Told… So Far, and his previous book, A Universe From Nothing.
